Give it 5 years or so at most before ICE is destroyed handily in every dimension possible (primarily less weight through higher energy density).

@kurtbilinski1723 6 ай бұрын

Like Rory said, the tires make all the difference. "Comparing" two cars, one with and one without slicks, really biases things. Also, the more turns there are, the more that driver skill matters - the same driver should drive both, removing yet another difference and making it more of a true comparison between to specific cars. That said, for a shot at the lap record, nothing matters but the time.

@@williamgrover7137 Most people (I hope) expect the 911 to keep dominating on bendy tracks with not many straights compared to this Tesla. But for this tank of a car to even perform the way it did on a bendy track is just insane. The big body weight can't be hidden. Impossible. It sort of looked like skipping a bit in some corners. Yet it somehow did it. Very impressive.

@@Al-ep8dz I agree this record isn’t impressive at all. This plaid has 1000HP, Racing Slicks, Huge aftermarket aero and is completely gutted! Its only able to be a OEM factory car by 1 second 💀. Meanwhile the Porsche is stock with an OEM option( no slicks or gutted) and they’re calling it modified. Sigh… I love my Model X but Tesla’s aren’t track cars and will never be!

I am just impressed of the performance of the zo6 as a stock street car coming so damn close to the tesla with a stripped interior, cage, agressive aero, 1000 hp, and race tires. I think a car like the 911 gt3 would be faster than the tesla even with it being a street car on street tires because it has a bit more aero than the c8.

@nyanbrox5418 10 ай бұрын

The regular model S plaid scored a time of 1:27.78 wheras the zo6 was like 1:32 if we are comparing street cars to street cars, the plaid still comes out on top it should be noted that the regular model S plaid is comparable price to the regular zo6, I don't know much about race times, but if 5 seconds is comparable, then we should be comparing the unmodified plaid to the unmodified zo6

Now that we know what it can do at 100% battery, I'm curious what it does at 10% battery. How much performance loss is there as you go through the battery? Like let's say it can do 20 laps on a battery, what do those times look like for each lap as the battery drains?

@nyanbrox5418 10 ай бұрын

you'll probably be a couple seconds slower on 10% as you might not have enough power for the thermal management or something or other 100-200 horsepower loss is a pretty big deal

@GraveUypo Ай бұрын

it was already throttling HARD at the end of the first lap.this car would might lose a 10 lap race against a civic. well, maybe not if the driver manages heat carefully. but it will at least have to slow down so much to keep the battery from burning up that it might as well be a 400 hp car

@theairstig9164 3 күн бұрын

Depends on the battery overhead. If the inverter is 400V and the fully charged battery is 440V, it won’t throttle until 75% SOC or when the battery hits 400 volts at wide open throttle. Dead flat is around 280-300 volts depending on what is in the management system. At 300 volts the motor may be getting 75% of the peak power the inverter can provide. In reality, 300v is close to 0% SOC it would be more like limp home mode because of the electronics trying to save the battery

Petrol V12 doesn't lose performance if the fuel tank is 66%.

@ColinFox 11 ай бұрын

That is true, technically it goes faster with a lighter tank. But a petrol V12 is also a BITCH to maintain, and racing it takes years of its life. Launching one is so traumatic to the motor & transmission that companies limit how many launches you can do before you void your warranty. EVs don't care - launching and racing doesn't hurt the motor one bit.
